Olga Tokarczuk
“How great and full of life the world is.”
Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
tags: life, world

Margaret Atwood
“We'll choose knowledge no matter what, we'll maim ourselves in the process, we'll stick our hands into the flames for it if necessary. Curiosity is not our only motive: love or grief or despair or hatred is what drives us on.”
Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

Rebekah Bergman
“Imagination was so close to memory. When you pictured the future hard enough, it could feel like the past.”
Rebekah Bergman, The Museum of Human History

“Empires have always underestimated artists. And it works in our favor. It makes us powerful. No one expects us to change the world, and so we do.”
J.R. Dawson

Olga Tokarczuk
“Killing has become exempt from punishment. And as it goes unpunished, nobody notices it anymore. And as nobody notices it, it doesn't exist...Crime has come to be regarded as a normal, everyday activity. Everyone commits it. That's just how the world would look if concentration camps became the norm. Nobody would see anything wrong with them.”
Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
